Friday

On Friday, Call is at 6:00 pm. Everyone please come in and get mic'd up. I will set the table on the floor so that I can use the stage to position nuns for the opening number. I need to place Nevin in the formation, and I need to make sure it moves well to the wider formation on the bells. We need a couple of the nuns on stage right to move one step more. I'll show you on Friday.

"Maria" worked really well on Sunday. I'd like to run it once before the show to make sure we've cemented it. It looked so much less congested, and everyone looked more comfortable.

Party-goers, please remember to not all exit right after the Lendler. If you do, Max arrives in time for a non-party.

Party-goers, when the children come down to sing, group yourselves on the upstage platform or behind the Captain and Elsa. If you come too far downstage, you block part of the audience's view of the kids.

Max, we ran a scene with Captain, Admiral, and Herr Zeller after you left, and realized we need to change where you are when you talk to the Admiral. Please come downstage of the couch to tell him that the Captain has just been on his honeymoon. We'll try to run that scene Fri before the show, but you can walk through it with J, Shamus and Hannes

Frau Schmidt, remember to stay on solid ground for most of your conversation with Franz. After you say, "It's so humiliating," start up the stairs. Keep walking while Franz talks. Stop and turn just slightly, so you can say your line over your shoulder without having to do a complete turn on the stairs, then finish your ascent. This way, you're not twisting and turning half way up the staircase. Remember to do any turning on the balls of your feet so you don't stress the knee.

Nazi's, when you pull the curtains down, be careful not to twist the rod, or it shortens. Then, when you go to put it back up for bows, it might not stay up.
